It was 'Nap Time' all day long on Sunday afternoon (Aug. 16) at Harrah's Philadelphia, as driver George Napolitano Jr. had seven wins on the program.
He started off by sweeping the early double with first race winner Canadian Touch. The claiming pacer trained by Ray Burt was ultra tough, overcoming a wide first quarter and post position eight for the win.
In race two, Rather Swell overcame an outside post for trainer Gilbert Garcia-Herrera, who had four training wins on the afternoon. Rather Swell paced the afternoon's fastest mile of 1:50.2 for his third straight win.
In race five, Napolitano Jr. guided three-year-old Reggiano to victory from off the pace. He followed that up overcoming another eight-hole with Somethinginthewind in the featured race, an upper conditioned level pace.
His fifth win of the day came behind veteran claiming pacer Major Tipper, who picked up his first win for trainer Bettejean Lare. He then won his final two drives of the day with two-year-old filly pacer Lispatty and Kevin Carr trainee Rude Boy.
Napolitano is the meet's leading driver, closing in on 200 wins at Harrah's Philadelphia.
